The Observational Method (OM) is a natural and powerful technique
that maximises economy while assuring safety. Its key features are
highlighted in The Observational Method in Civil Engineering
through twelve case histories from major infrastructure projects.
They cover protection of adjacent structures including buildings
and railway systems, bored and jacked tunnels, shafts and
cofferdams, retaining walls, embankments, deep foundations, ground
improvement and groundwater control. They illustrate how the OM can
achieve more effective collaboration between the client and the
design and construction teams, as well as how it can enhance the
industry's ability to learn from experience, thus improving future
practice and stimulating innovation. Despite these advantages, the
OM is significantly underused. The book demonstrates how the full
potential of the OM can overcome a wide range of concerns and
constraints. Other chapters address the advantages and limitations
of the OM, the key role of progressive modification, the art of
achieving agreement and the commercial and contractual environment.
The book will appeal to a range of construction professionals,
including civil, structural and geotechnical engineers, contractors
and owners. It will also be of interest to students and
researchers.

For two-semester courses covering the principles of economics for
students in business and economics. The relevance of economics
shown through real-world business examples One of the challenges of
teaching principles of economics is fostering interest in concepts,
including opportunity cost, trade-offs, scarcity, and demand and
supply that may not seem applicable to students' lives. Economics
makes these concepts relevant by demonstrating how real businesses
apply them to make decisions every day. With ever-changing US and
world economies, the 8th Edition has been updated with the latest
developments using new real-world business and policy examples.
Regardless of their future career path-opening an art studio,
trading on Wall Street, or bartending at the local pub, students
will benefit from understanding the economic forces behind their
work. Also available with MyLab Economics By combining trusted
author content with digital tools and a flexible platform, MyLab
(TM) personalizes the learning experience and improves results for
each student.

At the end of apartheid, under pressure from local and
transnational capital and the hegemony of Western-style
parliamentary democracy, South Africans felt called upon to
normalize their conceptions of economics, politics, and culture in
line with these Western models. In Against Normalization, however,
Anthony O'Brien examines recent South African literature and
theoretical debate which take a different line, resisting this
neocolonial outcome, and investigating the role of culture in the
formation of a more radically democratic society. O'Brien brings
together an unusual array of contemporary South African writing:
cultural theory and debate, worker poetry, black and white feminist
writing, Black Consciousness drama, the letters of exiled writers,
and postapartheid fiction and film. Paying subtle attention to
well-known figures like Nadine Gordimer, Bessie Head, and Njabulo
Ndebele, but also foregrounding less-studied writers like Ingrid de
Kok, Nise Malange, Maishe Maponya, and the Zimbabwean Dambudzo
Marechera, he reveals in their work the construction of a political
aesthetic more radically democratic than the current normalization
of nationalism, ballot-box democracy, and liberal humanism in
culture could imagine. Juxtaposing his readings of these writers
with the theoretical traditions of postcolonial thinkers about
race, gender, and nation like Paul Gilroy, bell hooks, and Gayatri
Spivak, and with others such as Samuel Beckett and Vaclav Havel,
O'Brien adopts a uniquely comparatist and internationalist approach
to understanding South African writing and its relationship to the
cultural settlement after apartheid. With its appeal to specialists
in South African fiction, poetry, history, and politics, to other
Africanists, and to those in the fields of colonial, postcolonial,
race, and gender studies, Against Normalization will make a
significant intervention in the debates about cultural production
in the postcolonial areas of global capitalism.
